"Geffen, I'm talking to you very seriously!" Lin Mu emphasized this point on the phone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

David Geffen finally gloated and told Lin Mu: "I'm also very responsible to tell you onn, you're really in big trouble this time!" ”

Hanging up the phone call from David Geffen, Lin Mu was hesitant to tell Britney the news.

David Geffen's words reminded him, and Lin Mu realized that his relationship with Britney was very unusual, and they had been together for a long time, even if Britney didn't have the kind of mind he thought now, but the future was not easy to say. has been in Hollywood for so many years, and the people who deal with Lin Mu are basically Hollywood's top beauties, but Lin Mu has no way to take Britney, and if she wants to say this, she will definitely be laughed at.

Lin Mu felt that this might be because he had always regarded Britney as a child, and he suddenly felt that his thoughts were ridiculous, Britney was indeed just a child, as long as he was in the right position in his heart, why should he care what others thought!

Thinking of this, Lin Mu no longer hesitated to answer Britney's call.

"Is it Uncle Xylon?" Before Lin Mu could speak, Britney's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Mu looked at the phone on his desk, which seemed to be the most advanced phone at this time, but he didn't find the caller ID function on it.

"So it's not Britney Spears, may I ask who you are?" Seeing that there was no response on the other end of the phone, Britney said with a little disappointment.

"Is it Miss Britney Spears, please?" Lin Mu deliberately suppressed his voice like teasing Britney.

"You're Uncle Xylon?!" Lin Mu's little trick was immediately seen through by Britney, "I'm angry, Uncle Xylon! ”

Lin Mu didn't even need to imagine it to know that Britney was now pouting her cute little mouth, listening to the phone in a huff.

"How did you know I was going to call you?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you," Britney seemed angry. "I don't pay attention to Uncle Xylon anymore!

"Since Miss Britney Spears doesn't want to talk to me, then I'll have to hang up!" Lin Mu said "regretfully".

"What, wait!" Britney was obviously not really angry, she was really worried that Lin Mu would hang up the phone, "Uncle Xylonn is so bad that it took so long to call me!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'm reviewing my mistakes, because I'm so busy all this time!" Lin Mu's technique of coaxing the little girl is very average.

"No, such an apology is not sincere at all!" Britney started to be coquettish on the phone.

"Shall I tell you the good news?" Lin Mu felt a little big, and Britney Spears was really good at "getting an inch".

"It depends on what kind of dissipation!" Britney said with a pout.

"Mr. Geffen just called me and he told the record company that he was going to release an album for you!"

"Really?!" Despite her question, Lin Mu had already reached Britney's cheers on the other end of the phone.

"It's still far from April Fool's Day, Fenxian shouldn't be joking with me!" Lin Mu once again confirmed the reliability of the message to Britney.

"The teachers who practiced me were very demanding, and I was often criticized for not meeting their requirements, and I would have had to wait a while for this opportunity! Thank you, Uncle Xylon! Britney said happily.

"It's your own effort, and I didn't help much! You should really thank your teachers, if they weren't strict with you, you wouldn't have improved so quickly! ”

"Don't thank them for being so cruel to me every day!" Britney replied childishly.

"People who smile at you don't have to be people who are nice to you!"

"But you always smile at me, so you must have bad intentions towards me!" Britney's understanding is still very "direct".

"But I didn't say that the person who smiled at you must be a bad person!" Lin Mu's "earnest teaching" was understood by Britney in this way, which made Lin Mu feel a little crying and laughing.

As if she had thought of the embarrassed appearance of the forest on the other end of the phone, a smile of "conspiracy succeeded" appeared on Lanny's face, "Okay, I know Uncle Xylon is not a bad person!" ”

"Actually, I wish I was a bad person!" This "evil" thought suddenly popped into Lin Mu's mind.

"Uncle Xylonn seems to have forgotten something important!" Britney said suddenly on the phone.

Lin Mu took the phone suspiciously, "Is there one?" ”

"You've forgotten, how can Uncle Xylon do this!" Britney said angrily.

"Can you give me a hint?" Lin Mu really couldn't remember any important matters between him and Britney that hadn't been resolved.

"You still owe me a baseball game!" Britney said, wrenching her fingers.

"It turned out to be that incident, didn't we say that we would wait until you release a new album to fulfill this promise?"

"But I've changed my mind now!" Britney's petty nature is coming up again.

"Don't you watch baseball games anymore?" Lin Mu felt that his head was big again, and he really didn't know what strange idea Britney would have in his head this time.

"Look, I want you to watch two shows with me!"

"Okay!" Lin Mu reluctantly accepted Britney's conditions, but he knew that making a record could not be completed in a day or two, which also included recording, editing, packaging, production, and promotion of many complicated procedures, and Britney's new album was released, and it was estimated that it would have to wait until next year. For Lin Mu, honoring the promise with Britney is still a distant issue.

In Lin Mu's memory, Britney's first single should have been babyonemoretimee, and the music video caused an immediate global sensation and influence, leading to a wave of teenage pop. The most memorable memory for Lin Mu is on the cover of the babyonemoretimee album, Britney knelt in front of the pink background, with her innocent and sweet smile in a charming pose, at that time, she looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

But the image is really different from her in the music video, tying the school uniform shirt around her waist and looking like a super confident little woman. There has never been a celebrity whose belly button has caused such a commotion/movement and caused such a violent reaction and discussion in the world, and at that time, as long as there was a little girl who showed her belly button, but blushed and looked like a super conservative nerd, people knew that she was definitely imitating Britney's original appearance.

Lin Mu didn't know if Britney's new album would still use this cover shape because of his appearance, and he made Britney's new album appear a year earlier, but he couldn't be sure if the change was good or bad. Lin Mu only knew that the fate of all those who had anything to do with him had changed!

The news that Britney is going to release a new album record will make Lin Mu start to pay attention to the dynamics of the whole industry, and this is when a news in the Wall Street Journal caught his attention. According to the report, Time Warner's stock price has fallen more than 1% for three consecutive weeks, and as of the day the article was published, Time Warner's stock has lost 15%, and all of this comes from Time Warner's annual financial report released weeks ago.

According to this report, Time Warner Co., Ltd. lost 20 yuan as a whole in 95, and its Warner Bros. Pictures, Time Magazine, Fortune Magazine, NN Cable News Network and Warner Music Group all suffered losses of varying degrees, of which the most serious loss was Warner Music Group.

In '95, the music conglomerate, whose main business is record production and distribution, lost nearly $600 million, and Time Warner's board of directors already had plans to sell the record company as a whole.

Lin Mu's first reaction when he saw this news was that the opportunity had come! He immediately dialed the phone number of Sanam-Lei Shidong's office, but Lei Shidong's secretary, Lin Mu, who answered the phone, was told that Lei Shidong was unwell for the past few days and had been recuperating at home. Lin Mu asked his secretary to find the Wall Street Journal and told him to make sure it was delivered to Sanam Leishidong.

Soon Sanam Lei Shidong personally called Lin Mu, and he obviously saw the report as well, so he wanted to talk to Lin Mu, and it was a face-to-face conversation.

Two days later, in a luxury villa in the Newmanhattan neighborhood, Lin Mu met Sanam-Leishidong, who was recuperating.

"Are you alright?" Lin Mu is a little sick Lei Shidong, the 73-year-old man is now the pillar of Viacom, at this time, Lin Mu does not want any accidents in his body.

"You don't have to worry about my body, but now I'm thinking about another problem!" Lei Shidong knows that he is old, although he still maintains a high passion for entrepreneurship, but after all, the years are not forgiving, and he can no longer pay attention to many things, and he is now beginning to think about his successor. "Xylonn, I think you should play a more important role in Viacom!"

"I feel like I've played a big part in Viacon!" Lin Mu heard from Lei Shidong's tone that he had the idea of retreating, this was not the energetic and passionate old man he usually saw.

"That's not what I mean!" Sanam-Lei Shidong sighed softly, at this time he was like an old man in his 70s, "I think Paramount's recent development momentum is very good, compared to the other subsidiaries of Viacom, the performance of several other subsidiaries is not so good, I know that a lot of this is because of you!" ”

"You know I love this industry!" Lin Mu shook his head. He had already guessed what Lei Shidong really thought.

"Actually, I hesitated to put you in Paramount in the first place. I know you love this industry. But you can only run a film company. It's a pity! "Lei Shidong knows that it is not so easy to convince Lin Mu." At the beginning, I asked you to be the vice chairman of Paramount Ground. In fact, I don't want to completely hand over this company to you, and I intend to be a person like you. Everywhere you go, it's a scorching light. Paramount can't do without you. Shirley Lansing can't handle it, and you have to hand over Paramount to you. ”

"I think I'm doing pretty well!" Paramount made a profit of $1.6 billion in '95. It has produced and released more than 5 billion yuan of box office films. Not only far more than several other film companies in Hollywood. And it was also the best year in Paramount Land history. That's how it goes. It is enough for Lin Mu to have proud capital.

"Just because you're doing a good job. So I and the other directors think you should put a heavier burden on your shoulders! "Lei Shidong is no longer bending around with the woods" when he acquired Besta Land. Many directors have suggested that you be the president of Viacomdy, but I consider that your job at Paramount Land has only just begun. In the end, there was no agreement. But now the situation has changed, and it is seen that Paramount Land has entered the best stage of development in history. I and the other directors think you should be more responsible for Viacom's side of things. ”

"I don't think the Viacom position is right for me!" Lin Mu is in charge, and Paramount is in charge of the Dream Fund. It's true that some doppelgangers lack skills. The president is the most senior executive in charge of the day-to-day operation and management of an enterprise. Lin Mu obviously didn't have that much time and energy.

"I know the best place for you is Chairman Viacomdi. But I'm sorry I can't give you this position right now! Lei Shidong told Lin Mu very directly. If he is willing to let go of Paramount Land affairs. He is the president of Viacom. But Lin Mu clearly had no intention of leaving Paramount. Therefore, Lei Shidong can only hand over the position of vice chairman of the board of directors to him. At a time when Lei Shidong was unable to effectively manage the company. The Timber has full authority to deal with any resolution of the Board of Directors. He signed. Will and Lei Shidong

Have the highest decision-making power.

"I have submitted this resolution to the Board of Directors for discussion, and if there are no objections from the other directors, the appointment will be announced next week. I suggest that you find a place to live in New York, my physical condition is good and bad, and the major decisions of the company are handled by you when I am not there, and you will probably not be able to stay in New York for any less time in the future than in Los Angeles! Lei Shidong didn't give Lin Mu a chance to refuse, "Tell us what you think of Warner Records!" He shifted the conversation to the point.

Lin Mu accepted this decision very "reluctantly", he knew that he could not stay in Paramount all the time, unless he only wanted to be the chairman of the branch all the time. Lin Mu actually likes the role of producer very much, but he knows that the opportunity for him to be the producer himself in the future may become less and less. But he didn't come to Lei Shidong today to express these feelings, he sorted out his thoughts a little, "I think Warner Records' recent financial difficulties are a good opportunity for Viacom!"
